Comment by Jensen Huang

A country can outsource a lot of things, but outsourcing all of your intelligence makes no sense. Intelligence is too foundational. … Intelligence comes from the data of your country. The data of your country belongs to your country. It’s your people’s knowledge. It’s your people’s culture. It codifies your common sense. Most of the data is not even on the internet. A lot of it is in your libraries or your companies. That data belongs to you. You should find a way to harvest that data, transform that data into AI; you can still use public models, but here in France, you have the benefit of Mistral [AI].

AI Verified The quote is supported by the cited source. EE Times’ article "Sovereign AI: Ambition or Illusion?" attributes this exact passage to Jensen Huang and prints it verbatim, including the ellipsis and the bracketed "[AI]," in its discussion of a VivaTech 2025 panel with Emmanuel Macron and Arthur Mensch; the quote appears at lines 437–438, with the panel context at line 415. VivaTech’s own press release also confirms that Huang, Macron, and Mensch shared that June 11, 2025 session.
